Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero.
Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else.
Chapter 5: What insights does David provide about love and family dynamics?
Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Brushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule.
Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Okay, maybe there are two rules, but the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Jagermeister, must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold.
Exactly. You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York.

Chapter 6: How does the discussion address the impact of grief on relationships?
I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it.
And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Levitar Show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
So I really don't know, even though I am talking to David Sampson where and when the time permits, I really don't know how he is doing what he is presently doing, which is a daily show.
that is three times a week now, but is normally daily as he manages some stuff at home that has been really profoundly difficult, some of the worst pain that I can't imagine much worse pain than what it is that he's presently going through.
Chapter 7: What is the story behind David's bike incident?
I assume that he's still working because he's duty-bound, he's responsible, and because there are parts of this that he enjoys. He has now shaved his head in solidarity with his daughter and his family, And Zaslow asked me a question. I didn't know how to answer it, even though I've known you for 20 years and I could generally feel pretty confident answering these questions.
He's like, can we say who David looks like now? Is that insensitive? Is it insensitive to say who in arts or entertainment David looks like now that he's got this this big gray beard and that he's shaven? And I would assume that you'd be OK with that. But he didn't want to be indelicate over something that was so family personal as you shaving your head off.
To show everyone, really, that you're in pain with your daughter.
Zaz, go ahead. I don't I don't recognize what I look like. So to me, I don't look like anybody. But if you've got a doppelganger out there that you would like to advance the show with past Dan's ridiculous takes on Will Chamberlain, please feel free.
You don't think Will could hit some threes?
I just think that Dan misled a fraction of the audience into saying that all he did was dunk because he was bigger than everyone else. Will Chamberlain had an entire, not only did he have a great mid-range game, and I mean, I don't know where you were here with telling Dan, unless part of the rules are now at Metal Ark, that we can't say anything bad to Dan.
But that was just an irresponsible statement, Dan.
They threw it to Roy. Look, Wilt Chamberlain, his game was limited.

Chapter 8: What reflections does David have on mortality and vulnerability?
He was bigger and stronger and more athletic than everyone else. And therefore, he would say, what are you looking at me like? I don't know what I'm talking about. He's a great passer. He was bigger. He was somebody for his time who was more athletically gifted in size, strength, and mobility than everyone he was playing against.
You could say that even today.
That's not Jokic.
He's one of the most athletic.
That's not what Jokic is. That's not what I'm watching when I'm watching Jokic. The reason Wilt Chamberlain shot that percentage from the field is because he was playing a whole bunch of people who got stuck in his armpit.
So I understand that you're going to double down on that. But if you go back to what made Wilt Chamberlain fantastic, there was a guy who played for Boston. I mean, I can't think of who he was. I think he wore number six, but it's escaping me. William Russell? William Russell, that's the guy, I mean, with all the titles that Boston won.
So it's not as though that Wilt was able to carry the Lakers to this, as you know, all of these great things. I just took offense to the fact that you would sully Wilt Chamberlain when, in fact, what we witnessed during that season when he was shooting 72%, the things that he was doing, we've never seen since Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, Jokic. Don't get none of them.
David, number one, I look like, well, I found you unrecognizable when I saw your show on Monday. That's not insults. Just I was like, I was shocked. I did not recognize you. But I think you look like Obadiah Stane from Iron Man. Oh, I think you look like Jeff Bridges character, the main villain in the first Iron Man movie. I think you'll just like him.
Well, that's just bald with a beard. Yeah, that's right. It's a key component. Let me give you the background just so I'm not hiding anything. The reason for the beard is not because I want to grow hair on my face because I don't have it on my head. It's that I shave on Sundays and I shaved on September the 6th, which is the Sunday going into Monday, September 7th.
